Chapter 2: Fever

Don sighed as he walked out of his lab and made sure Leo went to bed. Raph walked over to grab something from the fridge.

"What's up with Leo? He doesn't take naps..." Raph asked a look of actual worry on his face. Don "humphed" and turned to face Raph.

"He fought the Purple Dragons with a fever and still has one! I told him to go lay down before he fell down," Don grumbled. Raph looked up at Leo's room and muttered something about Leo being an idiot. Raph shook his head and walked off.

Don sighed and went back into his lab setting an alarm to check on Leo in an hour. He heard Raph warn Mikey to leave Leo be and sighed. Great now Mikey will go bother Leo...uhhhg Leo needs to sleep that fever off...

Later that day...

Leo moaned and rolled over on his bed. His stomach twisted and he felt all sweaty. He was sweating but shivering too. He grabbed his blankets and pulled them over himself, attempting to stay warm. He curled up and driffed off again. Raph came in and knelt quietly beside Leo. Leo didn't even twitch as Raph checked for a fever.

"You idiot," he whispered,"fighting with a fever. Get better bro." Raph adjusted the blankets and then left, closing the door behind him. Don was coming in as Raph left.

"Still got a fever," Raph sighed. Don nodded. Shesh...Leo never gets sick...looks like he has a bad flu...better move him so I can keep a better eye on him.

"Raph? Would you help me move him down to the infirmary? I'll have Mikey make the bed up quick," Don asked.

"Yeah, no problem. Don he didn't even twitch when I came in he's out like a light right now," Raph replied. Don nodded but his eyes showed worry.

"Mikey go make up the infirmary bed!" Don called. "But!! I'm on the last-" Mike protested.

"Mikey! Go. Make. The. Bed!" Raph snapped.

"Fine," muttered Mike as he got up and headed off to do as he had been instructed.

Raph walked carefully down the stairs as he carried Leo to the infirmary. Leo leaned into Raph huddled close for warmth.

"Man...Don he's shivering like crazy," Raph gasped. Don, who was walking beside him, nodded and touched Leo's forehead.

"Its probably the fever," Don mumbled more to himself than to Raph. Mike gasped when he saw Leo.

"Ahhh Leo! Man he is sick!" Mike said softly, "Sorry bro I didn't know how sick ya' were." Mike directed his last statement to Leo and he helped Raph lower Leo into the bed. Don wrapped Leo in blankets before shooing the others out and following them, flipping the lights off as he left.

About an hour later Don came in to find that Leo's fever had broken, and Leo was sleeping soundly. His head had bruises on it. Don eyed them nervously Maybe from this morning at Practice? I really don't like this...I'm starting to worry this isn't just the flu... Don sat on the edge of the bed and sighed.

"Can I go out and play mommy?"Leo teased as he rolled over slowly, too slowly. His golden-brown eyes were dull and glassy.

"No," Don said firmly, "Though you sound like you're feeling better." Don couldn't help but smile a little Leo didn't tease like that much, he was definnatly feeling better. Leo sighed but nodded and rolled back over.

"I guess I'm still tired anyway," he mumbled, drifting off after a second. Don started to cover Leo up and froze. On Leo's arm was a hand print, posistioned as if he had been carried. Don quickly checked Leo's legs and found another hand print. No...no...not Leo...please... Don covered Leo up and rushed for his computer and started entering Leo's symptoms into the search engine. When they all combined, the diagnosis left him sobbing against the desk.

Raph came in looking confused. He rushed forward.

"Don! What's wrong?"Raph begged, "Donnie!" Don clung to him, struggling to get control of himself.

"Leo has..he...he-he...Le-Leo...ha-has...ca-ca-cancer," Don managed to sob out. Raph gripped Don and fought his own tears. Oh please no!! we already lost Master Splinter...not my brother too!!

"We'll get him on Cemo or something Don...he'll be fine," Raph managed. Don shook his head.

"It-it wo-won't...I-I d-don't...think...it'll...w-work...w-with...our mu-mutated bod-bodies," Don sobbed,"I-It'll just...make hi-him si-sicker." Mike came in and stood there.

"He's not going to get better is he?" Mike whispered. Raph grabbed Mike and pulled him into the hug too. Mike sobbed as hard as Don when he found out. Raph held them close and tried to fight his own tears, struggling for control, trying to stay strong.
